Reservoir Permits

Permitting for the Timnath Reservoir.

The use of the reservoir property is available to properly permitted residents, future Timnath residents, Colorado anglers, and their guests. The property is owned by the New Cache La Poudre Reservoir Company and is leased by the Town of Timnath for recreational purposes. After submitting your permit applications online, you may pick them up at our Public Works building, located at 4800 Goodman Street during business hours: M – F; 8 am – 4 pm. After two weeks, if your permits have not been picked up, we will mail them to your address on file.
